Pretty trivial to do with proper macros in a language. Julia has macros for printing variables and values, like `@debug(var)`. There's an Elixir library with macros to make a map (dictionary) using the variable names passed in [1]: iex> import ShorterMaps ...> name = "Chris" ...> id = 6 ...> ~M{name, id} %{name: "Chris", id: 6} Though wether its a good idea or not is another question. ;) If you want to do the type of programming you're talking about you should try Elixir/Julia/Clojure(/Rust?)... or any number of other languages with macros. 1: https://github.com/meyercm/shorter_maps
